So what do you think about dating somebody who has a different religious belief to you?

Would you date somebody who was a practising Christian, Muslim, Buddhist etc? Does religion matter to you in a partner? or is it important you share the same beliefs? If you are religious, would you date somebody who isn't?

Or would you prefer somebody who is not religious? Would you consider converting to a religion for a partner?

A woman at work has asked me out. She is a Christian and I dont believe in god at all. I am not sure how religious she is but I know she is 24, a virgin and has spoken of being a Christian. I am thinking it could be an issue further down the line if it progressed past a date or two. I am wondering if I am making an issue of it more than it needs to be? I just don't believe in god and she does!


Hence the idea for this topic

I just have no interest in god, higher beings, lower beings or middle beings whatsoever and I just don't think I can stand people going on about their religious faith, as they inevitably will.

She cancelled our date, said she had to pick someone up from the airport which she forgot about. She said we will have to reschedule but has not suggested anything so I am just going to leave it at that.

Getting back to this, a couple of weeks ago our date was rescheduled but after talking to her again the week leading up to the date it became clear that she wanted very different things in her life than what I wanted in mine. Also, she did try and tell me that I might one day accept god and believe in marriage. That was what made me decide to cancel the date. No point pursuing a relationship with somebody when they are clearly completely out of step with the fundamentals of who you are, what you want and more about changing you to what they want.
